Sutro’s future? The receding treeline of Mt Davidson

The trees in this picture are in the Edgewood felling zone. If they are chopped down, hikers in the forest will get a clear rear view of the hospital, the new stem-cell research building, and the power plant.

Edgewood – Most of these trees would be felled.

Below: In Japan, the home of gardening as an elevated art-form, there’s a style called “Borrowed scenery.” The garden is designed to include the vista, typically a mountain. Perhaps that’s what the designers here intended: The wooded Mt Sutro is a lovely backdrop to a Stow Lake vista. (Photo credit: LC.)
